I stayed on Roger's cozy houseboat for my first night in Bangkok. I had gotten there at 5am which was way before the check-in time but Roger waited for my safe arrival and showed me my room. As someone who grew up by the water, it was so enjoyable staying on the boat that rocks you to sleep. Some people may not enjoy the movement of the boat (which at night there is very little of) but I found it comforting. The view outside my window was perfect for watching the sunrise in the morning. Also this is a perfect place if you are interested in finding good eats. I was able to get every meal of the day without walking more than 15 minutes (the walks are great too). Surrounding the boat are many vendors who will smile and wave to you as you walk by, which coming from America, is not very common. Everybody does their best to communicate and accommodate you if you cannot speak Thai. I was a little nervous about traveling to Thailand alone at 21 years old, but this was the best way to learn how things work and to receive advice on what to do next with my unplanned trip. I went to the Bangkok Museum (15 minute walk) and the Grand Royal Palace (20 minute walk) all which are very close to the boat. Also say hello and give some belly rubs to MO, Roger's very adorable doggy. Thank you Roger!!
